To you guys? It's been so long since I've seen it and none of my personal dogs has ever had it. It was completely covered with fur, and when I cleaned it up I noticed a raised edge around the outer circle. The skin inside the circle is pretty red and the rest of the fur/skin kind of peeled off when I cleaned it up. I seem to remember ringworm looking something like this.

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Ringworm sucks. My friend has a husky who's caught it from the horses at the barn this summer (the horses got it most likely from one of the barn feral cats)... She's still fighting it even with the diluted horse meds (I think it's Imaverol), along with Canesten and essential oils.

Ditto. I was taking care of a litter of kittens with ringworm last year and the vet told me that I've had so many cats (we had 17 when I was at one point when I was in grade school because I kept feeding the strays that showed up to birth their babies before my parents could stop me lots of strays in the 'hood) that I shouldn't worry about catching it anymore-- he said I'm probably immune to it.

The one cat we adopted from a shelter had a very, very stubborn case of it, plus a bad reaction to one of the topical meds. We ended up having to get something heavy duty shipped from a compounding pharmacy. It eventually did the trick, and I didn't catch it at all that time, either.

Usually it's easy to get rid of, but once in a while, a case is just a pain in the arse.

I had it for like several months... only because I was lazy and would forget to put the Miconazole cream on it 2x a day. Once I started actually treating it it finally went away - it wasn't too bothersome as it was just on my leg, but it still sucks!

It wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't on my face. It's like a dime-sized spot and a pea sized one. And it's ridiculously itchy!!

I had it on my neck this summer, but for god's sake, it's on my forehead (if it's really what it is). I've had an itchy fit for about a week, but I have eczema so I didn't think anything of it (although I've never had it elsewhere than my arms, hands and lower legs)...

But this morning I showed it to a coworker and she told me she tought it looked like very very faint ringworm. I had someone look at it under the UV lamp, doesn't fluoresce. So we did a scraping and a fungassay. In the meantime, I'm borrowing the clotrimazole tube from someone (miconazole worked sh*t for me this summer).

I don't understand, I must be immunosuppressed cause I've dealt with ringworm many times before this summer and never, ever caught it. In some instances during spay/neuter clinics I'd be vigorously petting a tomcat and realize had a bunch of ringworm spots and be like, oh crap! and nothing ever happened.
